Season 5 picks up immediately after the events of the Season 4 cliffhanger, in which Nathan, Duke and Audrey finally succeed in banishing the destructive Troublemaker William from their lives.

Yet in the Season 5 premiere, titled “See No Evil,” the gang learns that the victory is fleeting, as they are quickly thrust into uncharted waters. Duke is now a ticking time bomb, at death’s door and fighting to contain all the Troubles within him, while Nathan faces his greatest fear that Audrey — the woman he’s fought so desperately to save — may be gone forever. Making matters worse, Haven is hit by a strange new Trouble that’s silencing the townsfolk.

Also this season, as first reported by TVLine, Laura Mennell (Alphas) joins the cast in the recurring role of Dr. Erin Reid Charlotte Cross, a brilliant CDC epidemiologist who fears that Haven is on the verge of a deadly outbreak.

But enough with the words; here are some shiny new photos of the cast and from the season opener.

Eric tweeted a couple of months ago that it was her decision not to return. Something to do with her family. Though, I hope that doesn’t mean they automatically kill her. Maybe she’s just psychically recuperating somewhere outside of Haven? Hopefully? :(

Totally agree! I loved Jennifer’s character, and the fact that Duke finally had some happiness, but once again poor Duke misses out while (in my opinion) the most annoying character of the lot (Nathan) always eventually in some way gets what he wants! Duke is the only one of the 2 actually doing what’s best for Haven, whereas Nathan does nothing but brood about Audrey & put Audrey before everyone else’s safety, every time!
They should’ve kept Emma Lahana & killed off Nathan (again just my opinion)

Also, what Ashe,y said was exactly what I’d hoped would turn out to be….. emma needing time off, and then coming back with a “I don’t know I just found myself suddenly somewhere else” or something… Hope she comes back!

It’s not the last season. If it continues to meet expectations it should get a 6th season renewal, likely at some point in 2015. I wouldn’t expect a renewal during the first 13 episodes, the likely scenario will be that it will occur sometime during the back half of the season.

if I’m not wrong but I think that he was in a couple episodes in season 2 I might be wrong about it it was episode 4 in season 2 and a regular in 3, 4, and I think that he might be in season 5 looks like

With its ratings, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at each renewal, SyFy is very difficult to predict. I’m assuming this next run of 26 episodes spread out over 2 years will be the end of it, but even if that’s true, I’m thrilled to have had 6 seasons total (I don’t care that they’re calling it all season 5, it’s 6 in spirit and likely ordered all at once for financial reasons).

I’m si excited for haven season 5 I love this show. I hope that Audrey’s to Nathan is so strong that their love will overcome anything, after all they are always going to have that connection since they have a son together. Can’t wait!

Are we ever going to find out what happened to James Audrey and Nathan’s son? I love this show and all the character in it. I can’t imagine Audrey become Mara the original person who is really bad person? But I hope Audrey will come out and over power Mara.

I am sick of Nathan’s pain being a source of amusement for people. I am not looking forward to that reveal at all. Duke is like a brother to Nathan; after losing Audrey again, this is the LAST thing Nathan needs to deal with.

Since it says “The supernatural Syfy drama will launch the first 13 of its 26 new episodes on Sept. 11″ and all the seasons are 13 episodes, I’m assuming that it has been contracted for a 6th season, right?

Haven is one of the most underrated shows! I am so excited for it’s return…there is SO much to discover, like the RINGS, where Dave is really from, and my beloved Nathan, will he EVER get to marry his beloved Audrey and have the house with the “sea monster in the pool”?!

BRING BACK DUKE’s HAIR!!! It was part of his roguish charm! Not happy at all about the haircut. And I am really bummed about Emma Lahana not returning to the cast. I loved her character. But I am super excited to see what happens next. I wouldn’t mind seeing William make his way back to Haven either…those blue eyes…so full of trouble…sigh… :)

Can anyone PLEASE tell me when the second half of season 5 will start? (Ep14?)
Just watched mid-season finale & I’m already jonesing lol I’m happy if I at least have a date in my head to look forward to but IMDB shows the episode but not the date & I can’t find info anywhere… Anyone…. Please?!
